Job Description (Roles and Responsibilities)

The UK Delegation to the OECD represents UK interests at the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

The OECD is the largest grouping of likeminded democracies in the world, with a membership of 38 countries accounting for nearly 50% of the world's GDP.

The OECD promotes economic governance based on principles of democracy and economic openness, underpinned by shared values.

We model and promote British values, collaborating with other democracies to develop norms and standards that raise the bar globally.

We are on the front-line of tackling global challenges, harnessing OECD data and expertise to support evidence-based policy-making, exchanging ideas and best practice for a sustainable and inclusive future.


This role of the Development Policy Officer is in the development team, working to the UK Delegate to the Development Assistance Committee.

The main purpose of the job is to promote the UK's development and gender equality policy priorities at the OECD while identifying and harnessing evidence from OECD work to assist UK policy making.
